Paulst12 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Once is enough for me. Dust dust dust, traffic traffic traffic. and dust.Dont race where you train.Thats exactly where you should race... you know the trails and terrain so there can be no excuses? See if all your training has paid off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li Mu Bai Posted March 7, 2014 Share Thats exactly where you should race... you know the trails and terrain so there can be no excuses? See if all your training has paid off?hahaha, training there is far less frustrating that racing there. Done it, got the T shirt.XC races, Stirling (Johnson cycles race) and Quickie.The farm is fun to train and chase strava segments.All the new single track is brilliant. Not sure how much congestion will build up during the race though, I'm sure there will be comments after the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much congestion will build up during the race though, I'm sure there will be comments after the event.No doubt will have the usual "No water at tables... single track congested... to muddy... to bumpy.... to grassy" moaning afterward. I sometimes wonder why people do these races so ill-prepared for these things? As for NF... i love racing there, and for anyone who thinks its flat and fast.... just wait for those little up & down sections to start taking its toll... and if that doesnt hurt, then ride faster!!!

CraigCCW Posted March 10, 2014 Share Looks like rain most of the week, but set to clear up on Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully that is the case, then it won't be a mudbath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboLuke Posted March 12, 2014 Share NF drains exceptionally well...I predict with great confidence and my reputation as a weather sangoma :-) that it will be dry. Uni 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigT4 Posted March 12, 2014 Share I'll wait until Strava Races comes to cycling in SA and enter for the normal NF rate. You going to wait a long time for strava races to come to SA MTBc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoiZoNouZ Posted March 13, 2014 Share Rode there on Saturday, was so much fun in the mud! Hope it dries for the race though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieT Posted March 13, 2014 Share I rode there last Sunday.. prepare for a lengthy bike wash. Even if there's no more rain (which is unlikely), there's a lot of standing water... and mud! PoiZoNouZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiZoNouZ Posted March 13, 2014 Share I had to replace my rear derailleur cable after saturday, completely caked with mud. Will be fun no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
